I have a Kimber Tactical 45ACP.  As you know ammo is getting a little tough to find.  At a recent gun show a dealer told me that 45 AUTO is exactly the same case and round.   If that is the case why have both?   Will anyone clear this up for me please?

45 ACP and 45 Auto are he same round - but not t be confused with a 45 GAP which is a shorter round.    Here is an article on auto vs GAP HERE. I believe since ACP stands for "Automatic Colt Pistol" some manufactures shorten to Auto as to not support Colt.

On a side note - I just noticed you are in Denton county so we are practically neighbors, BTW there is a Gun show in Denton on the 17th and 18th this month.

Thanks for the help and the comp on the 45 GAP.  I will miss the Denton show as it is opening weekend for rifle in Georgia and I still have a lease there for this season.   Have been looking in Texas but not doing a very good job.

I own a Taurus PT1911 .45acp pistol. It fires flawlessly when I use .45acp ammo, but if I use just .45 auto ammo, it jams all the time. So there has to be a difference between these two types of rounds. Anyone out there knows what the difference might be?
